Pâte de verre by Ellen Abbott and Marc Leva Few kilnformed glass methods can produce the richness and beauty that is possible with pâte de verre — and and only handful of artists are as accomplished with the technique as Ellen Abbott and Marc Leva.

Even harder to find are world-class pâte de verre artists willing to share their knowledge so generously as Ellen and Marc will be doing in this comprehensive class.

The five day program will focus intensly on wax model making, plaster mold making (including two piece press molds), working with frit and filling molds, firing schedules and techniques, finishing techniques, and reproduction molds.
